Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb carrots
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • large bowl

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  2. Wash and peel the carrots, then cut them into uniform 1-inch pieces or spears to ensure even cooking.
Roasting
  1. In a large bowl, toss the prepared carrots with olive oil, salt, and black pepper until they are evenly coated.
  2. Spread the seasoned carrots in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded to allow for proper caramelization.
Baking
  1. Roast for 20-25 minutes, or until the carrots are tender and slightly caramelized, flipping them halfway through.
  2. Serve the roasted carrots immediately as a delicious side dish.

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of dried thyme or rosemary along with the salt and pepper, or a drizzle of honey or maple syrup during the last 10 minutes of roasting for a sweeter glaze.
